Ep 59: Anxiety Looks Different For Everyone with Danielle Ruhl
01/13/23 • 56 min
What does anxiety really look like, and how quick are we to judge someone without knowing what truly goes on inside the psyche?
In this episode, I had the divine honor to interview the Netflix star of Love is Blind, Season 2, Danielle Ruhl, where she uncovers more of the truth of her story and gives us a peek behind the curtain in her openness about living with mental health and her lifelong commitment to being an advocate and ally.
In watching her on Season 2, I felt immediately drawn to her energy and I didn’t know why until she revealed more of journey in struggling with trauma, anxiety, and feeling her empathic nature which sometimes can be a struggle for those that are more sensitive in the world.
She also reveals how she healed through her own dark night of the soul moments, and shared her passion of channeling her pain through music with her latest release, Addicted to Pain!
About Danielle:
Danielle Ruhl, best known for starring on Netflix’s hit show, Love is Blind (season 2) is finally putting pen to paper and adding music in the background. The Chicago-native has always had a passion for writing and journaling as well as a love for music. Danielle, who began journaling as a form of therapy at the age of 14, has always been outspoken and an advocate for mental health. She has been a spokesperson for Mental Health America (MHA), the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to mental health as well as other local charities and hopes to be a lifelong advocate.
On Instagram, she openly shares her struggles + urges people to be more empathetic and to become advocates for mental health awareness.
She wrote, "Nothing is more beautiful than women building up women and I can't wait to grow and learn from empathizing with each other. I hope for nothing but happiness for all."
Aside from helping to destigmatize mental illness, she loves to travel and spend time with her loved ones. Her feed is filled with images of Ruhl on vacation and surrounded by friends and family. She's arguably one of the most interesting and inspiring people starring in this season of "Love is Blind."

Ep 58: Harnessing Lessons into 2023 + Leaning into Your Shadow
To invite the fresh energy of 2023, I begin this brand-new season and year with a solo confessional to reflect back on the lessons learned in 2022 to harness in this year peering through life from a different lens.
For so many of us, 2022 was an energetically exhausting, yet incredibly healing to finally move through the traumas stored within our bodies, or feeling this grand RELEASE of what we can no longer carry into our future.
The last week of 2022 was an elevated experience for me of reliving all my traumas immersed into a crash course of leaning into love, surrender, acceptance, and deep healing.
In this episode, I invite you on a journey with me to this window in time to create a sense of ALIVENESS within the sorrow, the pain, the hard lessons, the dark night of the Soul experiences you had, and create a sense of safety within your nervous system that it is not only OK to have these experiences, but there lies within such POWER in its presence + reliving the memories.
And while I am not one to rush at the turn of the Gregorian calendar created by man to make sense of our humanity, I do feel you can find such grace and a deeper sense of purpose by harnessing the lessons learned from a previous year, inviting you to take one step forward from this Shadow side to envision and paint a more aligned reality, where Shadow + Spirit crystallize.
This year, the podcast blossoms into a WEEKLY format, so stay tuned every Friday for a brand new release + more epic guests coming ALIVE with me!

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed by life, that all you desire is to silence the noise? To find a place of stillness where you aren’t distracted by shiny object syndrome and the world 🌎 trying to convince you what you NEED, instead of what you KNOW?
In a solo series inspired by my own self discovery and practice to silence the noise and truly tune inward to blossom as my Higher Self, I will be unraveling my secrets to silence by connecting with the 4 elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
Why? Well, WE ARE NATURE.
In a time of deep disconnection, I inspire you to connect with me back to your Source, the essence and the elements that bind your existence.
What it truly means to be ALIVE.
